James Harmes

[Mofra]

Hannan mark2 imo

Hannan could kick though.
He could play a variety of rolls.

If any midfield minutes open up next year I'd want them going to Baz, not a semi-cooked Casey VFL player.

[DOG GOD]

Wow. Not suprised at all. This club is quickly becoming the Titanic.

Future 3rd likely to be traded for Harmes.

They gave us a F3 for Hunter…

Deal lodged:
James Harmes has been traded to the Western Bulldogs in exchange for a future third-round pick

Bailey Smith: More midfield minutes or I leave.

Dogs: We just signed Harmes. Over to you Bailey.

It's a tie with Lobb for me.

Most punchable Bulldog is nailed down for the next 3-4 years.

[The Pie Man]

My guess is they see him playing a high half forward pushing into the midfield role that Smith & MacRae kinda sucked at this year. SP has mentioned the need to add more speed to the group.

If Baz is still there next season and Harmes takes his midfield minutes, we’d want to be winning most of our games to justify it.

Future 3rd at least an appropriate exchange.

Who knows, could work out

Club twitter says Our future third pick so presumably we keep the GC pick.

That's 2 of our future picks out, good thing we're winning the premiership next year

[The Bulldogs Bite]

I'd rather it was a token 4th round pick. Especially if we are taking on his salary. I mean, we traded Hunter for less didn't we?

As a player, I'm not mad about it.

For those angry about it, don't forget we've been giving games to McNeil, VDM, Scott, Arty, R Smith, Baker, Poulter, McComb and others in recent times. A couple of these are OK and some are young (Arty) but Harmes is better than all of them.

Our bottom 6-8 has been putrid. Harmes/Coffield help a little bit in this area.

At this rate I feel our 3rd will be a better pick than the suns' 3rd.

It's such a bad trade. We're taking on his salary and the dees don't even want or need him......

[angelopetraglia]

Are only comitting ourselves to one year? What is the length of the contract?

3+1.

This. And a future 3rd with all the academy/NGA/father-sons in next year's crop will end up being a very speculative pick at best.

I'm more annoyed at a 3 year deal for someone with as many clear deficiencies as VDM.

Poor Harmes - doesn't even have a dedicated 'Welcome to the Bulldogs' thread

James H Career stat is an upgrade compared to Garcia, McNeil, West (unfair comparison TBH with the others are much younger and less games, especially West has never got a decent run at it) but he is similar to Toby McLean. Where does this leave Toby Mclean?
